IE GAUNTLET OF FLAME.
Terrible fxperlenoe of Mrs. Lawrence on
the St. Paul and Duluth..
Minneapolis, Minn., 8epr. 2. The
first train over the St Paul and Duluth
road, direct from the scene of tho great
fire, reaobed Minneapolis at 12 45 tbis
afternoon. There were abont a dozen
persons on board, lnoluding Mrs. Law
rence, the only one of the passengers
on the "limited," whioh started Satur
day afternoon from Duluth who has
yet reached Minneapolis. The other
passengers were those who went up on
the limited yesterday afternoon from
this end of the line, and finding that
they eould go no farther tbey stopped
at Pine City and returned to Minneap
olis on the first train. Mrs. Lawrence
says the first evidence of the fire was
noticeable about ten miles north of
Hinckley, when the air became almost
suffooating.
One mile north of Hinkley a number
of persons, Mrs. Lawrence estimates
the number at fifty, rushed toward the
train screaming frantically. The en
gineer, seeing the danger they were in
if tbey remained, stopped the train to
let them aboard. The heat beoame in
tense and the whole voloano of fire
seemed to burst oat in a mighty effort
to wipe the train and its oooupauts off
the faoe of the earth.
MBS. LaWBENCE'S STOBY.
Mrs. Lawrence deseribing the scene,
sid: "At the first rush of the flames
toward the cars, the window panes
went out with a crash and the train
began slowly to return to Skunk lake.
People screamed and men jumped
through the car windows. The wild
Sanlo was horrible. There was no
nmanity in it. Every fear-erazed
person was for himself and tbey did
not eare how tbey got out of the swirl
lug, rushing avalanche of fliine. My
dress caught fire but I extinguished
the flumes.
"I saw two Chinamen. Thoy were
paralysed by fright and made no ef
fort to get away, bnt simply bid their
heads nnder the seats and were burned
to death. I stood It a long as I could
and then I rushed out of the ear, jump
ing over one or two persons who were
lying on the ground injured. Bome of
the people jumped into Skunk lnke, but
I simply ran along the ties. The fire
had burned away, and after running
until my strength gave out I fell down
between the mils, I expeoted every
moment that my drees wonld be burned
from my body. I put out flumes on my
dress half a dozen times and I bad to
hold my bands over the baby's fsce in
ordor to keep It from suffocating."
This morning Mrs. Lawrence was
pioked up in the middle of the track
about two miles north of Hinckley by
a relief party from Duluth, whioh
made the trip on a band oar,
HINCKLEY A BLACKENED WASTE.
The site of Hinckley, says Mrs. Law
rence, is nothing but a blackened
waste, with the bodies of dead and In
jured persons lying everywhere. There
were fully 125 persons aboard the "lim
ited,', but only two were burned out
right. These were the Chinamen men
tioned. About a dozm persons, accord
ing to ber etory, were injured in the
panlo which resulted when the people
tried to escape from the rar. Soin
ruahsd to the platform aud jumped off
while the train was moving, while
others fought their way through the
struggling, frantic passengers in an
effort to get away from the acne. In
this way many persone suffered severe
injuries such as broken bones aud
limbs
Mayor Eustao received a telegram
from a eitizjus committee at Runb City,
Minn., this aftornoon, stating that 150
lives bad been lost at Hinckley aud the
situation was horrifying, A carload
of provisions was procured, but no en
gine could be secured to take It to the
sufferers, It will go out in the morn
ing, however, ami tomorrow meetings
of the business nun of Minneapolis and
St, Paul will be held to provide relief.
HOMELESS FAMILIES.
Residents of Pukogsma Are In Danger
of Starvation.
Mora, Minn., Sept. 2. One hundred
and forty-eight bodies have been taken
out of Hinckley and places io the vicin
ity. The nearby town of Pokegama is
wiped out. The Eastern Minnesota
train, whioh left St. Paul t 1 05 yes
torday Afternoon and arrived at Hinck
ley at 0 o'clock last night, took 300 peo
ple on board and moved westward
toward St. Cloud. The train has not
been heard of since. It has not reached
St. Cloui'. und it has not gone back to
Hinckley. There is a general fear that
it has been burned with all on board.
There is no chance tbat tbey are aiive
unless they have found a stream or
slongb into whioh they eould go and
escape the fire. Every family in Poke
gama is homeless and in danger of
starving to death.
A freight train is in the ditoh one
and a half miles west of Pokegama.
Twenty-five, people are in the caboose
and the fire is all around them. If
they are not reecued soon all must
perish. Hans Nelson, section foreman
ut Pokegama, started away yesterday
with bis family on a baud car to estape
the fire and nothing bis sinee been seen
or beard of them. It is certain tbey
bave perished.

Camden, N. J., Sept. 2 An express
train from Ocean City, N. J., ran into
the rear end of an excursion train from
Atlantlo City on the West Jersey rail

KILLED IN A QUARREL.
John Tataka Accused ef Having Mur
dered Tony Berwick.
Wilkes-Bakbe, Sept 2 What has
turned out to be a fiendish murder bas
led to the capture of John Tutaka, of
Port Bowkloy. Anthony Berwick, a
reeldent of Midvale, was struck by an
electrio ear on Friday night
near his home and died soon
afterward without recovering con
sciousness. From the peculiar po
sition in which the body lay on the
traek and the fact that there was no
scream of pain or fright when the bo -oident
oocurred, the conductor sus
peeted foul play, and notified the au
thorities. A detective was put on the
esse and he found a clue whioh led to
the arrest of Tutaka.
On Friday night Tutaka and fierwiok
bad a quarrel and came to blows. Dur
ing the fight Tutaka beat Berwiok over
the bead with a fence picket nntil the
latter fell senseless. Tutaka is said to
hare then placed the unconscious man

The speakers of the convention will be

of a great coivention," said Congress
man Robinson yesterday. "Our young
Republicans sre deeply in earnest in
this oampaign and they will bo at Har
risburg like an avalanche. This will
be the best Republican year of tbe

Cameron's face on the badge.
Tbe League badge .this years bears
the miniature of Senator Cameron, and
Cameron is elated to be nmong the dis
tinguished lights of the convention.
He is now summering in Dnnphin.
"We selected Cameron as our badge
decoration pnrely as a local compli
ment,'' said Chairman A. Wilson Nor
ris yesterday, "He is part of Harris
burg and his home at Donegal is
quite near. There is no politioal sig
nificance in the thing, none whatever.
The senator did not know of the mat
ter until yesterday, when he eaw the
badge for' the first time and was sur
prised to find himself part of it. As to
the charge tbat we are adopting this
means to start his presidential boom,
tbat is about as funny an announce
ment, by General Hastings would be
that he is a candidate for the senate.
Mr. Cameron is a citizen of Harrisburg,
and in honoring him we honor the town
and gratify local pride."
REALISTIC DRAMA.
Buss Saw and Tank Flays Outdone at
Sedalia.
Sedalia, Mr,, Spt. 2 An unfortun
ate accident occurred at Lees Summit
last night. An amateur theatrical
company composed of young society
people was presenting the pity, "The
CONVEMTiON
Postal Clerk," at the opera house. In
tbe play it becomes neotajury to nae a
Ristol. In the drasslur room of Wil

loaded with blauk cartridges and tbe
other with bullets. During tbe not
Glbbs fired at J. P. Latbcrman, an op
erator for the Missouri Pacific railway,
who was playing an iiUDortaat part.
The audieuce was horrified to see
Latherman fall to the floor with a
stream of blood sporting from a ghast
ly wound over his left eye. He cannot
recover. Giblis is almost orazed with
grief, as tbe men were warm personal
friends.

CAUSE WTHE HAZE.
Scientific Men Declare That We Are
Not Passing Through a '
Comet's Tail.
Washington. Sept. 2. The psonlinr
haze that has been noticeable in the
sky all over the country for the last
week or so has been a matter of great
interest to meteoroligists, and many
experiments have been going on In
different observatories of the country
to determine its esoee and nature.
Tbe weatber bureau officials, whose re
ports on the weather conditions arc
daily read throughout the United
States, bave been making observations
of tbis phenomenon, and the opinions
of two of tbe professors of meteorology
were given today to a reporter for the
United Press.
Prof. Henry A. Bia eald: "This is
what is called the Indian summer dry
hnze. Just what is tbe cause of it, it
is a little difficult to determine, al-
thou ;h similur conditions have boon
notioed in the past.
"It is probably caused every year by
a settlement of dust or smoke particles.
Tbe air is generally quiet, and there
are ne conditions which would precipi
tate the particles causing the baza or
carry them to other regions. Tne con
ditions east of the Mississippi river are
unquestionably due to forest fires just
as io 17S1 and 1881.
"The theory advanced that tbe pres
ent haze is caused by tbe earth passing
torongn tne tail or a comet is entirely
erroneous. The material in tbe tail of
a comet could not possiby produce suoh
an effect as tbat. Tbis is a condition
purely terrestrial. The stirs can be
seen through the densest tail of a
comet.
Professor Cleveland Abbe, of the
weather bureau, who has mado a spec
ial rusearch into this smoke said:
There is eveiy reason to believe that
all ot tbe emoke baze which now covers
tbe country is the result ot tbe diffus
ion of the smoke of burning forests and
erops. A comparatively little fire will
make a large quantity of douse smoke,
unless it is widely diffused by strong
winds, in which case the smoke becomes
like the thin baze of the Indian sum
mer. It will doubtless all be cleared
away by the aotion ot the first gonerul
storm that sweeps over the country.
SAMOA HEARD FROM.
Big Powers of Europe Liable to En
e;age in a War Over the
Islands.
Washington, D. C, Sept 2 The
news from Berliu tbat sixty-two for
eigners In samon, including two En
glishmtn and one American, have
asked the German government, to an
nex the islands is all the more signtfi
oant in view of the present nttltuJe of
the United States concerning Saraoan
aff.iirs. Samoa nud this country have
practically parted company. No Un
ited Sutes warship is kept at
Apia and probably none will be
sent there during this administration
except for the promotion of the lives
and property of Americans in the
event of hostilities. That the United
States government has abandoned its
share in ths triplicate protectorate
over the Sarnoan ialnndB is now ao
eepted ns n fact in diplomatic eircles.
and 'the opportunilies such a course
opens for the othor parties to the
agreement are emphasized by tbe peti
tion to Emperor Williuui.
In bis last annual message to con
gress President Cleveland showed
clearly what would be the attitule of
this government, in onr relation with
Simoa. as outlined by Secretary Greg-
bum. In effect tbe policy adopted is
tbat it Is unwise tor tbe United States
to msddlo In the efflrs of Samoa be-
oause tbe islands are too far away to
do us any good and tbat a continuation
of tbe protectorate is a constant me-
nanoe to American peace. It will be
interesting to note however, what tbe
attitude of the United States will be if
Germany acts favorably on the the
petition presented to its emperor and
attempts to annex sarnoan territory.
But whatever the polloy of tbis Gov
ernment should suoh an attempt be
made, it is certain that Great Britain
will not submit tamely to surrender
of its rights In the protectorate, and it
is therefore likely that Samoa may soon
again be a center of interest for the
olvllized world.
MOODY IS I0W
Assumes Personal Charge of tho Campaign
Against Sin.
HE DELIVERED TWO SERINS
One Was at tho Elm Park Church in
the Morning and the Other Was in
the Gospel Tent Last Night What
tho Famous Evangelist Had to Say.
Mr. Blis3 Delivered an Earnest Ad
dress in the Gospel Tent in the
Afternoon.
EVANGELIST D. L, MOODY en
tored opon his work in this elty
yesterduv morning at a service
held in Elm Park ohureb. Last
evening at 7.S0 he addressed an audi
ence ot men iu the gospel tent on the
West Side.
Long before 9 o'clock yesterday
morning streams of people traversed
the various avenues leading to Elm
Park church, whore Evangelist D. L
Mondy entered upon his personally
conducted mission services. The vnst
edifice was thronged with earnest peo
ple who entered into the spirit of Mr.
Moody's work.
He opened tbe services by asking his
hearers to sing heartily tbe well known
hymu, "All Hail the Power of Jesus'
Name." In rendering tbe refrain the
audience did not please Mr. Moody,
who desired to instil more enthusiasm
into the singing, and in compliance
with liia request the refrain was re
peated and bis electrical power of en
thusing his audience had the result of
a more hoarty rendition.
Thus early Mr. Moody demonstrated
the sway ne so mysteriously holds over
thousands. Rev. Dr. Robinson then
engaged in prayer, after which Mr.
Stebbins, the versatile composer of
gospel hymns, santf, "I Shall Be Satis
fied," while the audience listened with
supreme interest to tbe masterful man
ner in which he unfolded the beauties
of the words and music. Following
this Rev. W. G. Partridge offored
prayer and moBt happily took up tbe
expression of the preceding song and
applied it for the success of tbe mis
sion. After Mr. Stebbins bad rendeied
"Pray Brethren, Pray" Mr. Moody ad
dressed the audience and stated that at
tbe beginning of his mission the most
appropriate subject he could diseuss
was "Prayer," and gave several in
stsni'dffi'Tn' tlOwd evangelistic experi
ences of the power of earnest prayers
in ensuring the success ot the work.
one case in toint.
In one case the clergyman of a Lon
don church requested him to preach to
bis congregation and he complied, but
in tbe morning service be found tt
service cold and formal and it seemed
to him that he could not get bold of the
people. The ohnrsh seemed like an ice
bouse or refrigerator, but iu the even
ing there was a great change as if the
breath of God was in His bouse. What
was the secret? A member of the
church who bad been ill for many
years bad read of tbe Moody services
in an American paper and prayed tbat
God would send Mr. Moody to her
church. After the morning service
some of her friends said, "Who do you
think preached in our church this
morning?" Tbe Invalid gueesed several
times uutil she found that her prayer
had been answered, and tbat Mr.
Moody bad been in the chnreh and
would preach nguiu in the evening.
How earnestly she then prayed for
God's bleeBiug upon his services, bow
she entreated for tue Father's grace to
shine in tho service, and so the prayer
was answered and a obange wrought
aud many souls brouurut to God. Iu
like manner he would ask them to pray
for tbe blessing of God npou tho work
of tbe coming week. They eould all
pray, but let them remember the essen
tial elemeuts of prayer, First, there was
adoration; second, there was confes
sion, and in this Mr. Moody was pow
erful iu his telling sentences. If a bul
let of lead, said he, be in a man's body
he cannot be healthy, because there is
in him a foreign element and so are tbe
nnconfesaed eins a foreign element in
au unhealthy eoul. So many wavers
bad been offored in Tain owing to the
cursed bidden sins whioh bad not been
confessed. A little boy bad tronble
with his mother and was sent to bed
early in tbe evening whore his father
visited him, and after reprimanding
him nBked him if ho had prayed.
"Yes," said the boy, "I have said my
prayers." "But," said tbe father,
"have you prayed." He may have said
his prayerp, but tbe paramount ques
tion was, bad be prayed.
prayed with lips only.
Men wore but big children, they said
their prayers often, but did not pray.
There was somf thing wrong, they had
a lead ot uuconfessed sins which pre
vented their praying. Therefore, let
all of them mako an bonest confession
of their sins, so that tbey may be able
to pray iu spirit aud in trutb.
Tbe reverend gootlt-man then spoke
npou tne necessity or "restitution in
concluding bis address, after which
the doxology was sung and the first of
yesterday's meetings was brought to a
olose.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon Mr.
Bliss, who has conducted the Gospel
tent mission during the past week, ad
dressed a large number or yonug men
at the Young Men's Christian associa
tion rooms on Wyoming avenue, where
his address was listened to with rapt
attention. Mr. Stebbins and Caswallon
Davis, of the Moody quartette, sang
the wellknown tune composed by tbe
former to tbe words "There is a green
bill far away. " and Mr. Davis also sang
''God Bless My Boy, also the composi
tiorvof Mr. Stebbins, and was assisted
in tbe chorus by tbe excellent male
cltorns of tbe Young Men's Cbristntn
association.
At 4 o'clock Mr. Bliss again appeared
at tbe Gospel tent, where a vast con-
oourec had assembled. The musical
portion was well sustained by a choir
